The Season Opened With a Par ty, Complimentary to Miss Nettie Budd. September opens the social and dramatic season, os well as the busi ness year.

The Pullman sleeper is not in charge of a porter as stated in theso columns yesterday. Two ot the oldest and best known Pullman conductors in tliQ service^ look alter, the comfort of the passengers on this run. ***’ Engineer Charley Griffin says it is another giri, hut he is receiving the congratulations of his friends, all the same. *** A special train was made up here nnd sept out to Rainbridge Wednes day night. The yardmen are com pelled to keep trains moving here now, while the new side tracks are being made, to prevent a blockade. *** Another handsome hack tins been added to the line of vehicles at the depot. *** The hackmcu and transfer drivers at tho depot seem to think that the loudest drumming secures the utost business, but policeman Harmon makes them too the line. ' Wo call special attention to Mr. E. M. Mnllcttc’s column. It bristles with bargains in desirable real estate. He offers city, suburban and country property. Mr. Mallcttc, also, rep resents some gilt edge iusurancc companies, fire nnd life. Ilis list of houses to rent should be read. See ad. Everett and Felton Editor TiMES-Esrsarnsz Although wo are a long way off from the 7th congressional district, and have no vote in its elections, we are near enough to see that the action of the sorehead democrats at Rome in bringing out Dr. Felton in opposition to Mr. Everett, is a step in the wrong direction. The solidity of the south in secur ing and preserving the ascendancy of the white race in our beautiful south land, is the pressing question of the day, and he or they, who take a posi tion in this critical time which direct ly or indirectly tends to disturb and hazard the unity of tho people on this great question, is either a real enemy or a friend in disguise, whose actions should be closely watched, and set down on with a force and purpose, which will be felt. The devil sometimes puts on the livery of heaven the more effectually to work out his nefarious purposes, The Rome soreheads style themselves the “Jeffersonian Democracy,” as though there was some other sort of democracy, and under this cloakary to upset the wishes of the best people, and nullity the hopes and prospects of the farmers of their district, and de tent them in bringing forward for consideration their plans nnd prospects for the future, ns represented in the person and candidacy of their chosen leader, Mr. Everett. Suppose this experiment of the sore heads succeeds; the leaven will be spread all over the state, and whnt will become of us in Southern Geor gia? An unprincipled so callod dem ocrat may, like Dr. Felton, denounce the alliance ns an oath bound, secret political institution, and with the aid ot soreheads and negroes, place the. white men, women and children, in an unfortunate social and political con dition. The nervy leader they have selected, with his previous record star ing everybody in the face, is an insult and a threat which the farming com munity should take to heart. The nllianco may be denounced and cari catured, but without them what would either the country or the sore head democrats,be. Everybody who is posted in the cur rent news of the day, knows that while Dr. Felton is a man of eminent abili ty, he is a politician, aud has a faeili ty for changing his position whenever he can discover a current in which he can sail into office. At one time he is an independent and runs for office on that line. Next, he is a milk and cider democrat, and iuns for office on that line. Now he is n Jeffersoni an democrat, aud is outHeroding Herod in his thirst and greed for a scat in congress. The people of this region of country aro not personally acquainted with Mr. Everett. But he is by both friends and political enemies, reputed to be an elegant gentleman, worthy aud well qualified to he a representa tive in Georgia in the next congress. And it is due to him and the good of the country, that every body all over tho state, who desires to maintain and secure white supremacy, should give him their sympathy and hold up his hands as far as they can. Citizen. Messrs. E. H. Tomlinson and J. W. Chapman, of St. Louis, are at the Stuart. Mr. $. Ay. Stone, formerly with Mr. Jennings, has bought the splendid nursery of Col. Wm. McLendon. This is one of tho finest collections of LcContc and other, fruits in this sec tion. Mr. Stono is a young man of energy, end ho will no doubt make tho business pay. The watch offered to the one guess ing nearest the population of the city, is still at R. Thomas’, waiting for the official announcement from Washing ton, before being awarded. Postmaster Smith is cleaning up and putting tho interior of tho post office in order. This will be appre ciated by the public. And this re. minds us that Mr- Smith is doing ev erything in his power to give the pub lic a good majl service. Mr. Ed. Crittenden is no longer With the Messrs. Pringle. Wo under stand ho will probably go on the road soon for a Thoniasville jobbing house. A good many republican candidates for congress arc being nominated—ta stay at home. Livingston the Man. The Covington Star, Livingston’s homo organ, says: Mr. Livingston cannot now be said to be in the race for senator, but from the present indications among the Al liance, we believe he will be swept into it upon the swelling current long before the Legislature meets in joint session in November to elect a sena tor. This is the outlook now, and honestly believe Mr. Livingston will be the man put torward to make the race in opposition to Gov. Gordon, if any man is entered against him at all. Direct Trade. The direct trade convention lias been in session in Atlanta. A committee was appointed to consider the subject of direct trade. They made the follow ing report: Resolved, That committee recom mend to the convention the creating of a corporation to promote direct trade at some point on the South At lantic coast, and another to promote direct trade at some gulf port, each company to be capitalized at 81,000,- 000, with power to incrcaso it to 810,- 000,000.

Tho Covington Star, Mr. Living ston’s home paper, says: “Your Undo Tommie Norwood will not bo elected United States Senator this year. Per haps s’mother year. You can put this down in your memorandum.” Yes, and you enn put it ‘‘down in your memorandum” that your Undo Lonnie Livingston will not be elected United Stntcs Senator this year. The first letter of the next Senator’s name is John B. Gordon. We are the People, For the People, And With the People.
